The vision that Aurobindo gave to humankind of the Mother, the Shakti, the force of evolution preparing a new world, is another vision that we need now. Not only did Aurobindo experience the Mother as the stable ground of all things, but he came to know her as the Shakti of adoration, reverence, tenderness, the urgent, loving action that creates the world and that hungers now to help us recreate our world in all its arenas and dimensions in the image of her eternal love.
